I haven’t moved that far from DC geographically—only about 60 miles—but it might as well be another country. Deer at dawn and stars at twilight. My dog runs through the woods and plays in streams. Ample parking day or night, people shouting “howdy neighbor.” Grocery store cashiers are friendly. I can leave my car unlocked, my front door wide open, and protect myself with every gun I could ever want. No sirens, no protests, no civic social justice required.

Unfortunately, he'll find himself asking for new sidewalks, better services and on and on and he'll vote for whoever promises to give him all that nice stuff he deserves and eventually, he'll live in a leftist hellhole again and will have ruined life for the people that have lived there for generations.

That is one reason I moved way way out in the country—where it would be economically impossible to provide city amenities.

Most suburban folks who move out here (thinking they are ready for the “country life”) give up in disgust in a year or two. It requires too much hard work and planning—they can’t handle it.
